Controversial PSG star striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic has posted a
photo of him and Ronaldo, who he described as ‘the best player of all
time’.
The Brazilian soccer legend and three times world footballer of the year
was a guest of former French President
Nikolas Sarkozy at PSG’s clash with Nice on Saturday.
The Ligue 1 champions won 1-0 courtesy of a first half penalty from
their Swedish talisman, and Ronaldo went to the dressing room after the game to
congratulate the 33-year-old.
Ibrahimovic then posted a photo of the pair online and wrote: ‘This was
the best thing that happened last night. The best player of all times, Ronaldo.
The Phenomenon.’
The two strikers have followed similar paths in their careers, with both
having played for Inter Milan, AC Milan and Barcelona. Both players also rose
to prominence while playing in the Eredivisie.
Ibrahimovic isn’t known for his modesty but, when it comes to Ronaldo,
the former Malmo youth player is more than willing to concede the
Brazilian is the better player.
In an interview with Sports illustrated, he said: ‘The best opponent of
my career? I’ve played against many, many good players, so I don’t know who to
keep.
‘But I would say Ronaldo, ‘El Fenomeno’. Why? Because he was my idol and
because, as a football player, he was complete.
‘There will never, in my view, be a better player than him.’
